C. needed in small amounts.

Minerals are also needed for the body although this should be taken in a very controlled amounts only.
Minerals and vitamins combined form the micro-nutrients of the body.
With micronutrients, only relatively little amount of nutrients is required to improve health. They are usually in milligram and microgram amounts and are enough to sustain to the metabolism and growth supplication. On the other hand, macronutrients are those that need large portions and quantities such as carbohydrates, fats and proteins. We need more of these to be converted to energy for movement and muscle growth.

In sedimentary rock the oldest fossils would be expected to be found

eduard

Answer:

At the bottom of the sequence

Explanation:

According to the "principle of superposition of strata", the oldest rocks are formed at the bottom of sedimentary rock sequences.

The oldest rock layer would contain the the oldest fossil. Weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition would bring all sediments which includes rock materials and remains of living organisms to the basin where they would be lithified to form sedimentary rocks. This makes the oldest fossil to be at the bottom of the sequence. As time progresses, the fossil sequence would continue to accumulate and young upwards as the strata becomes relatively younger. Also, we know that fossils succeed one another in a definite manner.

This why relative dating of rocks can be possible.

First evidence is both are plants.

Gerald’s classification is right because grasses and clover are plants and we know that plants are the producer of the ecosystem. We can also see that plant is the only organism which uses sun as a source of energy from which it produce their own food.

Answer:

A phospholipid

a. has both polar and nonpolar regions.

Explanation:

Phospholipids, as amphipathic molecules, consist of a glycerol molecule, two fatty acids, and a phosphate group that is modified by an alcohol. The phosphate group is the negatively-charged hydrophilic (water-loving) polar head, which face outward and are attracted to the intracellular and extracellular fluid. The fatty acids are the uncharged, hydrophobic (water-fearing) nonpolar tails, which face the inside, away from the water and meet in the inner region of the membrane.
